In 1987, childhood friends Maurizio Menichetti and Chef Cuisinière Valeria Piccini opened a restaurant in the exact spot where Maurizio's parents previously had a trattoria. This stone house perfectly complements the superb medieval village scenery of Montemerano, which is perched on top of a hill. Valeria's excellent cuisine is now renowned throughout Italy thanks to her dishes which bring out the best of the region. The dining room at The Caino only has nine tables and caters for a total of eighteen guests, providing the intimate atmosphere which characterises authentic Tuscan restaurants. It's a completely unmissable gastronomic destination.

“My cuisine is simple, which doesn't rule out creativity: it's rich in flavours and cultivates a balance leaning towards the "perfect flavour", which should make our clients feel the emotion and the love that I try to get across.”
